For You, You possessed my kidneys, You have covered me in my mother’s womb.
Did not He who made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?
Your hands have made me and formed me; Make me understand, that I might learn Your commands.
Upon You I have leaned from my birth; You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of You.
Come, let us bow down and bend low, Let us kneel before יהוה our Maker.
Thus said יהוה who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, ‘Do not fear, O Yaʽ
“Listen to Me, O house of Yaʽ
“Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I did set you apart – I appointed you a prophet to nations.”
If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?
